| Obverse description | Sphinx seated to the right upon a ground line, rendered in archaic Greek style with wings raised and forepaws extended forward. A bunch of grapes is depicted before the sphinx in the left field, a reference to the famed viticulture of the island of Chios. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical die wear consistent with extended circulation. |
